Beach Volleyball, in London? Works for me!

Recently I took up a place in an outdoor beach volleyball team, playing midweek in Wimbledon Park.

Turns out there are actually beach courts in London (to my surprise), and as I have discovered, nice Weather (Also surprising!).

It's a six a side set up (basically indoor rules) played on Olympic quality sand I'm led to believe.

I've had a great time playing over the past 6 of so weeks, and the friendly nature of the competition, umpiring and oppostion has made it a real highlight of my time in London.

The laid back atmosphere is something I particularly enjoy, and there's always someone floating around who is more than happy to fill in should the team ever be short.

Having said that, there can be a degree of intensity on the court and there are certainly times when the competition gets a bit fierce, so it's not always smooth sailing.

All in all I highly recommend the competition to everyone, no matter your sporting prowess, and hope you enjoy your experience as much as I have.
